Hi and THANK YOU for posting information about the Butterfly Project. We are extremely grateful and proud of the beautiful jewelry Samantha has designed which not only supports our project, but honors my mom, Brenda Caplan, who in addition to her kindness and compassion appreciated quality and craftmanship like Samantha’s jewelry. May I also suggest taking a look at http://www.sallyspicerbags.com?
